I was playing SWTOR and just about to do some PVP then SWTOR just started re-loading the textures. Was like WTF, that is weird, but not unknow, 10 seconds later I was locked up while browsing one of the item vendors, which is odd as I've never had SWTOR or this computer need a force reboot at all since I built it....I reboot it and after POST it says SMART not enabled (I have an SSD) so that is odd too.I go back in to windows and load up SWTOR again and it locks up after 10 seconds on the character screen.I reboot again and no SMART controller error this time so that is good.Then my computer locks up before windows boots up.So I restart and try and do windows memory test, but it sucks the cawk, so i run memtest86 from a bootable USB and it does a full pass after 30 mins no errors.... I reboot and log in again and normal in windows.

I looked at eventlog and the only non-usual error is that nvidia drivers crashed (would of been when SWTOR flashed the loading screen again)

Hopefully it doesn't happen again!!!

Update:Played a few solid hours the other day and no crashes, though it locked up again tonight after 1 WF.I notice that I got the SMART error after I restart after it locks up. That's all I got to go off! Apparently there is some issue with Sandforce based SSD and gigabyte mobos? Someone said upgrade BIOS in a random google search, so I've given it a go.... Let's hope it works!
